No, missing a specific GPU effect doesn't prevent CPU overclocking.

Likely they’re all APUs unless you have a graphics card available now. If you’re doing the testing, why are you pushing them to overclock? Are you checking how much they can actually overclock? Yes, if they’re APUs that impacts things since both video and regular CPU work happen on the same chip, leading to more heat and higher power needs at the start.
